revert: properly revert to ancestor of p2 during merge (issue5052)

During merge, added (from one perspective) file can be reported as "modified".
To work around that, revert was testing if modified file were present in the
parent manifest and marking them as "added" in this case. However, we should be
checking against the target revision manifest instead. Otherwise see file as
"newly added" even if they exist in the target revision.

That revert behavior regressed in 06fbd9518bc5.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
